Link to specific page in another Word document?
Is there a way I can hyperlink from one Word document to another, so that it
lands on a specified page? How about from a Word document to a specific page in a PDF document? Thanks. Jo |

Yes to both. You can set a hyperlink to target a bookmark. Bookmark the
destination, save, then in the source use Insert Hyperlink; select the target document; then click the Bookmark button on the hyperlink dialog. "Jo" wrote in message ...

Link to specific page in another Word document?
Thanks for your reply, Jezebel. However, I was hoping I could just specify a
page number though. I'd prefer not to have to set up a bookmark for each page just to jump to a page number. Seems cumbersome and messy if the pagination changes later with updates. Also, bookmarks are not the same thing in PDF. In PDF one has to set up "names destinations" which I'd prefer to avoid. I don't think there's a Word equivalent to these that would be transferred cleanly in a file conversion, unless I've missed something. Jo "Jezebel" wrote: Yes to both.

You avoid the changing pagination problem by bookmarking the actual target,
rather than the page. In any case, hyperlinks to specific pages will be wrong as soon as your pagination changes, anyway. Yes, bookmarks ARE essentially the same thing in PDFs (as on web pages), and they DO get transferred when you convert your document to PDF. Although you'll have to update the hyperlinks anyway, because the target document itself has changed. "Jo" wrote in message ... Thanks for your reply, Jezebel.

I'd love to know what you're using to convert, then. I've tried using a
PDF-conversion utility, and a colleague also did a test-convert using Acrobat 6. The only links that translated at all are www-links, not internal links or links to a local file. Even when I set up a bookmark in Word, it does not show up in the bookmarks in the PDF. Only standard Headings show up as bookmarks, but I'm trying to create an Index so it's not detailed enough.

Version 7.
Go to Edit Preferences. Select 'Convert to PDF' from the Categories list, then 'Microsoft Office' from the 'Converting to PDF' list. Click 'Edit Settings'. Check the 'Add bookmarks and links to Adobe PDF file' checkbox. "Jo" wrote in message ... What version? "Jezebel" wrote: I use Acrobat. "Jo" wrote in message ...

There's also an option somewhere to convert headings to bookmarks (which
Word does automatically anyway, if you have a TOC). "Jo" wrote in message ... Thank you! My colleague used version 6, so maybe this is a new feature. Your instructions will definitely help.

Yes, I've noticed that it does that. Thanks again. :-)

Link to specific page in another Word document?
My colleague tried converting the Word documents using Acrobat 7 (she'd
apparently used version 4 before, and upgraded). On one hand, there are finally usable links (sort of; yay!). On the other hand, it didn't open the corresponding PDF document - instead it opened the original Word document! (Sigh... I'm not sure if that's progress or not. LOL) I can create a Word document that links to the converted PDF, but I can't access the bookmarks in the PDF from Word's link creation window. I would assume converting the linking document would open the correct PDF, but I'm not taking anything for granted anymore. ;-) My colleague followed your instructions about the settings, but I'm not sure if there might be some other settings that would work or how to do this. My colleague is not very familiar with Acrobat, and I don't have it (and we're not in the same office), so I'm not sure how to advise her. If you have any further ideas about this, I would really appreciate the help. Thanks!! Jo "Jo" wrote: Yes, I've noticed that it does that.
